Shrug Capital started as a viral joke tweet that became a $3M venture fund, blending elite Silicon Valley investors with celebrities like Tony Hawk and The Chainsmokers to create an unusually strong bridge between tech and entertainment culture. The fund backs companies with "effortless sharing" potential that are culturally resonant enough to explain enthusiastically to non-tech friends, while the partners act as obsessive fans who tattoo portfolio logos and turn their personal lives into marketing campaigns for their companies.

$100K – $3M
Vera Equity

Vera Equity is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on pre-seed and seed investments in fintech companies. The firm provides capital alongside operations advisory and strategic introductions to executive talent through its partnership with True, a global talent management platform.

CoVenture

CoVenture began by building software for non-technical founders in exchange for equity instead of just writing checks, and it grew into a firm that combines venture investing with asset-backed lending, financing income streams like Amazon seller receivables, produce sales, and creator economics that most lenders aren't yet set up to evaluate. It looks for opportunities that are unpriced rather than mispriced, treating venture and credit as connected skills instead of separate specialties.

Cherubic Ventures is known for investing before a startup even launches or reaches product-market fit, often as the first institutional investor, while also setting aside half of its latest fund for follow-on support all the way through pre-IPO; it was also one of the first venture firms to operate as a solo general partner and has grown into one of the largest funds run that way. Founded by Matt Cheng, who previously built two companies that each reached over $1 billion in public market value, the firm was designed from the start to invest across both the U.S. and Asia, backing early breakout companies in places like Croatia, Bangladesh, Japan, and Taiwan in addition to the U.S., with its Taipei roots still central to its identity alongside its Silicon Valley presence.
